Templo y exconvento de San Agustín, Plateresque convent in Atotonilco El Grande, Mexico.

The temple and former convent features detailed stone carvings on its facade, incorporating Gothic elements with Renaissance architectural principles from Spain.

Augustinian monks established this religious complex during the colonial period, marking the expansion of Christianity throughout the Atotonilco El Grande region.

The building displays elaborate sculptures, heraldic symbols, and organic patterns that represent the fusion of European and local Mexican artistic traditions.

Guided tours of the complex occur between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with access to the main chapel, courtyards, and former monastic quarters.

The structure integrates silver-like decorative elements characteristic of Plateresque style with indigenous craftsmanship techniques of the 16th century.
